 Mine have SI9900s, but I'd love to throw an RH70 in one. 
   I've got a pair of Emulex SC72s for mine...The SC72 is a set of
 boards that plugs into the RH70 slots in an 11/70, and controls SMD
 drives.  I've not installed them yet, but I expect them to be very nice.  
 They *are* very nice.  I have 2 sets in my 11/70.  One for controlling
 the Eagles and the other for the CDC 9766's.

 I have a couple of SC72s which I hope to use in my 11/70 to hook up
 both my CDC 9762, Fujitsu M2284K, and a pair of Seagate (CDC) 9720 Sabre
 drives. I'm hoping that the SC72 can handle the data rate of the Sabres.
 Does anyone know? 
I have an SC70 in my 11/70 and a couple of RH70's.  I've also got one
complete RH11.  But, no Massbus peripherals, so I cannot test those
out.  I'm looking forward to Guy's emulator!  RL02's just aren't big
enough for real work on an 11/70.
